Take The Power Back Lyrics

Rage Against The Machine

Crank the music up Bring that shit in, uhh
Yeah, the movement's in motion With massive militant poetry Now check this out, uhh
In the right light, study becomes insight But the system that dissed us Teaches us to read and right
So called facts are fraud They want us to allege and pledge And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost Spun our minds and through time Ignorance has taken over Yo, we gotta take the power back
Bam, here's the plan, motherfuck Uncle Sam Step back, I know who I am Raise [Incomprehensible] your ear, I'll drop the style and clear It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless We need a movement with a quickness You are the witness of change And to counteract we gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on We gotta take the power back
The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em Eurocentric, every last one of 'em See right through the red, white and blue disguise With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back We've got to take it back Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears One sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior? Yeah, we need to check the interior of the system Who cares about only one culture And that is why we gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it Break it, break it down, aww shit
Uhh, and like this, uhh Come on, yeah, put it back the other way, ugh
The teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can't recall The student's eyes don't perceive the lies Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool Complacent students sit and listen to that Bullshit that he'd learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on Can't learn a thing from it yet we hang from it Gotta get it, gotta get it together then Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try To strangle and mangle the truth 'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on Yeah, we gotta take the power back
No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies, uhh
Yeah, take it back y'all, take it back Uh, take it back, uh, take it back y'all, come on Take it back y'all, take it back, uh, take it back Uh, take it back y'all, come on, uhh, yeah
